This school really sets a great foundation for you to become a professional driver after I graduate I started with covenant and it’s been great!! almost at my First year I’m so proud I’m myself . I an thankful I had great training and help along the way. If your looking into getting your CDL just remember it’s not always going to be easy and it’s hard work but if you really want it keep at it. It’s not just a job it’s a lifestyle !! Thank you TTDS for making this opportunity possible

Great staff! Everyone is genuinely happy and excited to train and teach everyone. Very informative and uplifting. Overall fantastic experience. Shout out to Joe for classroom instruction. Shout out to David for his patience when teaching. Shout out to Robert for making it fun at all times but serious when it needs to be serious.

Loved the instructors, every single one of them pushed me to be my absolute best. The housing is about 25-30 minutes out, even though I was told it was 10-15 minutes away. Not a huge deal though, just be prepared for that. David and Robert were phenomenal at reinforcing everything we were taught. Dawn was amazing, Skittles and Josh both kept it real and blunt, and Mark and Jeff are really just kind-hearted. 9.5/10 I don't regret attending this school at all.

Just finished my 3 weeks of training! It was extremely hot out. All training was good. Trainers were good. Jo is amazing trainer. Sam, is far my favorite. He is straight forward and to the point. But he tells you what you need to work on and how to do it. Taylor was there at the start of my training as director, and now gone. She was awesome also. She wanted us to do well in the training. Altogether it was very good school. Difficult to unlearn bad habits but easy to pickup how to properly do it. I would recommend ttds to anyone who wants to get CDL. Remember it's like a job, be on time, and be interested in learning. P.s. we miss Taylor.

I just recently chose this school to get my cdl and it was better than I thought! The office staff are extremely nice and will make sure you get taken care of and the teachers are amazing and will really work with you and help you and go above and beyond to make sure you have all the knowledge and skills to have your cdl’s in three weeks! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

This was an excellent place to learn the basics of how to drive the big rigs , and get a CDL Class " A " license. All of our instructors were great , they not only taught you properly but made it fun too. I highly recommend going to TTDS to anyone that's entertaining the idea of Being a A truck driver and it's lifestyle

They helped me so much with getting my CDL and the instructors were awesome and ready to teach. Might go back after a couple of years and be an instructor myself. Don't quite know yet. Everyone there was awesome to get to know. Future students see you out there. Be the spounge and take everything in.

Going there was the best decision I've made..the moment I walked in it was family and they all want you to succeed.. I was NEVER bullied to drive for anyone they even tell you they will help you for life if you want to drive somewhere else. Lindsey,David,Jo,Josh,Dan,Shawna,SAM, Dawn and Robert Janet Every person there is the greatest You have to want it and listen they will not do anything to steer you wrong.. I love the school and everyone in it Ashley and any name I forgot. Y'all taught me how to be a truck driver and I love you all I can never thank y'all enough for changing my life even when I about gave up. Everyone had my back thank you all.

It was a rough experience being outdoors for 12 hours. The dust is pretty bad to inhale for all that time getting alot of us sick. Definitely need to utilize our time in the class and outdoor maneuvers better, more theory info for both. I think with more ways to learn would be easier for first time drivers. Extra visuals plus keeping conversations more professional and not derogatory to ppls preferences, hygiene or overall favoritism. Thank you to the instructors who were actually doing their job!

I started attending this school on 8/14/23. From the first moment i arrived in class, i was blown away by the professionalism and energy of the instructors/management staff. It is a very efficient and effective process. I had Joe and Dawn for my in class portion, and I'd just like to say they made it a extremely enjoyable experience! You can absolutely tell they enjoy what they do and strive to be engaging. My second week was a struggle due to the weather I would suggest being prepared with plenty of water sunblock and a chair with an umbrella As you will be at the mercy of the elements the entire time. My instructor for week 2 was Joshua he is another excellent teacher and made it enjoyable even know it was miserably hot out there. He went above and beyond to make sure you where proficient in your backing skills aswell as your pre trip inspection. Week 3 was alot better weather wise but it was very busy alot of knowledge needed to be learned from your more advanced backing maneuvers to your incab pretrip inspection. My instructors where Dan and Sam, both where very efficient in there teaching methods and made cramming all these final skills easy. I rather enjoyed learning to drive with sam he is a very lean teacher. He teaches you exactly what you need to succeed and keeps it interesting. He has a pretty rough R. lee ermy way about him however that is exactly what is needed. Remember we are learning to drive a 80000 lbs spicy missle so listen closely and do exactly what he says when he says and youll be fine. You may even find out like we did he is awesome and has one heck of a sense of humor. I have found that this school gives you all the tools and time you need to be successful in this industry it is up to you and only you to utilize them to there full potential. P s. There student services department is amazing aswell. They will handle everything for you for life to get you placed with awesome companies. TTDS GOOD JOB KEEP IT GOING 10/10 recommended AlaskaRon grad class 08142023 98.13 GPA

I had a great experience.learned a lot.the instructors and all the staff were very helpful and made sure you learned what was needed to become a trucker.the job placement is also a major bonus.

Went here June of 2017. Enjoyed the informal instructors. They all worked with you if you had any issues. Been driving over 6 years now. 3 weeks is enough to pass the test and learn the basics. The real learning comes from experience on the road so take your time. Glad I went through with getting my CDL. Made $2,000-$3,000 a week net in the oilfield back in 2019 as a company driver. You can make money in trucking, just gotta find the right places to go. Keep the shiny side up and dirty side down. Hammer down drivers!

I started TTDS on August 14, 2023, and all I can say is… Wow! All of the instructors that I had at this school were exceptionally amazing at what they did, and how they taught it. I had Jo, and Dawn for week one classroom, and they were amazing at how much they can pump into your brain in just four days. Week two I had Josh, and Matt for my instructors which Josh excelled in a multitude of ways, and helped out clearing up some questions, and confusion on my end. From week one to week two you go from classroom to outside. If you go to this school in the summertime I suggest sun screen, water, an umbrella, and water. Did I forget to mention water? This is Tennessee after all! For week three my instructors were Shauna, Dawn, and Dan. Dan taught excellently on the 90 degree back, and Shauna, and Dawn were very informative with the driving portion. Nothing bad to say about these three, they know what they are doing, you just gotta listen, and ask questions if you’re confused about anything. When I tested out of TTDS I got Sam for my examiner. Nothing but good things to say about this guy. Very informative when you ask him questions. Don’t let his rough and tough exterior give you the wrong impression, according to Alaska Ron, Sam is an onion, he has many layers. All in all I want to thank TTDS for everything they taught me. I am on my way to a better, and hopefully, lifelong career. Remember this: this school is a pre-hire interview, they report everything about you to your employer they set you up with so don’t treat this like a place you can just… not pay attention, for a lack of better words. So PAY ATTENTION. Don’t give up, give it your all, and you’ll pass. If you don’t pass the first time, eh, try try again. There is no fail, only attempts.

The equipment needs to be maintenance and repaired. But as far as the staff goes. They are all great. Very personal. This is a great school to get your CDL training. A+ staffing.

My experience was definitely different in the fact that I was told from day one that this school helped everyone on different levels of learning. Let me say that was not the case in my experience. I was told when booking they didn't have housing available for me so I had to drive 1.5 hrs back and forth which gave me no study time at home with 12 hr days. 3rd I was finally given it for the last week only to not be told I would share a bdrm with someone. When I cancelled my room due to not being told I was told in Lindsey's office it wasn't the Ritz Carlton which was rude as I wasn't expecting that but was expecting privacy. I have dyslexia which is a different way of learning but was told my disability by multiple staff. It was also written off as it's all in my head and I was thinking too hard and beating myself up when essentially being beat down by these folks to the point I locked up. I got started in the game later than my other classmates due to failing the test twice but already knew I'd struggle so I was ok and joe was great to me but was never given a fighting chance as I was just handed material and said study while everyone else was 4days into the next week and had learned so much and had study partners . I made several attempts in telling them I needed help and continued to be diagnosed as to what my problem was rather than truly be listened to. I had one instructor Josh to just pass me through which he was nice and understood, I had one instructor who got pissed whenever you screwed up Sam who tried to test me knowing I was days behind the others at learning and was told by me I wasn't ready. and another instructor David who was so stuck on diagnoseing me and telling me what my problem was and wouldn't listen and shut up. I have never been treated so badly and had they understood I was 4 days behind everyone else and I told each of them. I wouldn't be writing this but your company does not accommodate folks who struggle. Me and another guy felt like black sheep cause he came in late too. I left right before my 3rd week was done because I was being pushed and proded and wasn't ready. They wanted me to come back and finish which I agreed to but then cancelled because I knew this place had issues and wanted to be treated with dignity and respect that I wasn't given. I sent emails that I was struggling and spoke to countless people about me struggling and then was told we had no idea you were struggling by Janet even though she was nice to me and needed help. Seriously??I was given a 1,000 discount if I paid right away and was told we aren't here for the money we just want you to succeed. Really? I still paid 5200 bucks for two weeks of disrespect and condescending behavior. Do better Tennessee truck driving school!

Skilled and patient instructors. I got my CDL A after 3weeks of training. I would recommend this school to anyone looking to get their CDL.
